Answer:

0.50 mol

Explanation:

The half-life is <em>the time required for the amount of a radioactive isotope to decay to half that amount</em>.

Initially, there are 8.0 moles.

  • After 1 half-life, there remain 1/2 × 8.0 mol = 4.0 mol.
  • After 2 half-lives, there remain 1/2 × 4.0 mol = 2.0 mol.
  • After 3 half-lives, there remain 1/2 × 2.0 mol = 1.0 mol.
  • After 4 half-lives, there remain 1/2 × 1.0 mol = 0.50 mol.

Answer:

1) 1.52 atm.

2) 647.85 K.

3) 20.56 L.

4) 1.513 mole.

5) 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

Explanation:

  • In all this points, we should use the law of ideal gas to solve this problem: PV = nRT.
  • Where, P is the pressure (atm), V is the volume (L), n is the number of moles, R is the general gas constant (0.082 L.atm/mol.K), and T is the temperature (K).

1) In this point; n, R, and T are constants and the variables are P and V.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1V1 = P2V2.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>and V1 = 45.0 L.

P2 = 5.7 atm and V2 = 12.0 L.

Then, the original pressure (P1) = P2V2 / V1 = (5.7 atm x 12.0 L) / (45.0 L) = 1.52 atm.


2) In this case, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, V, and T.

P and V are inversely proportional to each other and both of them are directly proportional to the temperature of the gas that if we have two cases we get: P1V1T2 = P2V2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = 212.0 kPa, V1 = 32.0 L, and T1 = 20.0 °C = (20 °C + 273) = 293 K.

P2 = 300.0 kPa, V2= 50.0 L, and T2 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>

Then, the temperature in the second case (T2) = P2V2T1 / P1V1 = (300.0 kPa x 50.0 L x 293 K) / (212.0 kPa x 32.0 L) = 647.85 K.


3) In this case, P, n and R are the constants and the variables are V, and T.

V and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: V1T2 = V2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

V1 = 25.0 L and T1 = 65.0 °C + 273 = 338 K.

V2 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em> and T2 = 5.0 °C + 273 = 278 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert T into K.

Then, the volume in the second case (V2) = V1T2 / T1 = (25.0 L x 278 °C) / (338 °C) = 20.56 L.


4) We can get the number of moles that will fill the container from: n = PV/RT.

P = 250.0 kPa, we must convert the unit from kPa to atm; <em><u>101.325 kPa = 1.0 atm</u></em>, then P = (1.0 atm x 250.0 kPa) / (101.325 kPa) = 2.467 atm.

V = 16.0 L.

R = 0.082 L.atm/mol.K.

T = 45 °C + 273 = 318 K.

Now, n = PV/RT = (2.467 atm x 16.0 L) / (0.082 L.atm/mol.K x 318 K) = 1.513 mole.


5) In this case, V, n and R are the constants and the variables are P, and T.

P and T are directly proportional to each other that if we have two cases we get: P1T2 = P2T1.

<u><em>In our problem:</em></u>

P1 = 2200.0 mmHg and T1 = ??? <em>(is needed to be calculated) </em>.

P2 = 2700.0 mmHg and T2 = 39.0 °C + 273 = 312.0 K.

Herein, there is no necessary to convert P into atm.

Then, the temperature in the morning (T1) = P1T2 / P2 = (2200.0 mmHg x 312.0 K) / (2700.0 mmHg) = 254.22 K = -18.77 °C.

A different student is given a 10.0g sample labeled CaBr2 that may contain an inert (nonreacting) impurity. Identify a quantity
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Mass of Ca in sample, Mass of Br in sample, Number of moles of Ca in sample, Number of moles of Br in sample, Mass or moles of element other than Ca or Br in sample

Explanation:

The AP Classroom will not count your answer to this question as correct unless it includes at least one of the answers listed above. If you say that theanswer to this question is density, it will be marked as incorrect, I found that out the hard way when I used the answers that brainly gave me.

Good luck,

I applaud you for using the sources avalible to you, which is /definetly not/ cheeting.
